DESCRIPTION
When no specific rule applies, but there is a danger of misreading, use a comma to make the sentence clear. Ex.: During the day, time was on our side. Ex.: What happens, happens. When two or more adjectives come before a noun, use a comma after each adjective except the last one. Ex.: She was a happy, talented, intelligent girl. Ex.: The cold, dark night was upon us. Note: if one adjective is a color, no comma is placed between the two adjectives. Ex.: A noisy yellow bird flew by. Ex.: It was a bright green building.

COMMAS– LESSON #2
When no specific rule applies, but there is a danger of misreading, use a comma to make the sentence clear.
• Ex.: During the day, time was on our side.• Ex.: What happens, happens.When two or more adjectives come before a noun, use a comma after each adjective except the last one.• Ex.: She was a happy, talented, intelligent
girl.• Ex.: The cold, dark night was upon us.
• Note: if one adjective is a color, no comma is placed between the two adjectives.• Ex.: A noisy yellow bird flew by.• Ex.: It was a bright green building.
COMMAS– LESSON #2
Use commas to set off most appostives from the rest of the sentence.
Note: An appositive is a word or group of words used directly after another word to explain or rename it.
• Ex.: Ray Bradbury, a famous writer, spoke at the Fontana library.
• This is Mr. Ray Combs, your father.Note: If the appostive is a short name, it is usually not set off by commas. • Ex.: My friend Jacob is coming with us.
COMMAS– LESSON #2
Use a comma between the name of a city or town and the name of its state or country. Use a comma after each item in an address. If a city and state or country appear in a sentence, place a comma after the state or country. (Do not put a comma between state and zip code.)• Ex.: We traveled to Houston, Texas, last
spring.• Ex.: He lives at 12022 Slover Avenue,
Bloomington, California 92316.• Ex.: She traveled to Moscow, Russia, which
is in Eastern Europe.

ARCHETYPES Turn to page 31 in your World
Literature textbooks to the section titled “Archetypes”. Volunteers to read?
ARCHETYPES Write the following in your Key Terms
list: An archetype is a situation, character,
or image that appears again and again in literature and art. Example: the symbol of the four seasons
(spring, summer, autumn, and winter) are archetypes that appear over and over again in literature. What do the seasons
represent in art/literature? Can you think of other
archetypes?
ARCHETYPES Try to figure out what these other
common symbols or “archetypes” represent: The Joker Sunrise Princess Leia The color red A blind, wise old man A mountain top A main character’s dream
ARCHETYPES In The Epic of Gilgamesh and other
ancient tales, we see a reoccurring archetype: a flood that wipes out the human race.
Keep in mind that the Gilgamesh Epic was written far before the Bible and the cultures that wrote each story likely did not have any knowledge of one another.
Why would both include a story of a flood that destroys the human race? What would be the symbolism or deeper meaning/purpose of a flood story?
ARCHETYPES Let’s finish reading the flood story
from The Epic of Gilgamesh in the textbook.
After we are done reading, make 4 annotations on what you noticed about a) the culture, b) a pourquoi story, c) Gilgamesh and d) the gods
Have out your “Noah v. Utnapishtim” chart (front side of Man v. Myth chart)
ARCHETYPES Homework: Fill out the first column of
the Flood chart.
